Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

Happens all the time. And then there're the new ones I love so much that I want to wear them all the time!

The collections that reeled me in was just the Huggables recently and the ED e/s line extension because I just love both formulas. I was interested in a few other collections, but MAC started playing hard to get in the German market and some collections are only available at particular stores which aren't in my area.

Their loss, I bought other things from other brands. *shrugs*

Yes it is their loss----literrally! MAC is losing money!

 

[Medgal07]

I'm sticking to my guns!!!

What I find helpful is to think of a dupe or similar colour that I have to the one I tend to reach for. I think it's more hard because you associate feelings with a particular product. I think though if you've gone a bit without using the same colour, it's okay to run back to that favourite because the overall intention is to use our stuff, and that's what we've been doing!

I agree in part-------it's easy to dupe a color-----duping a formula-----not so much

I'd like to go with the supposition that I'm doing it to USE MY STUFF.

I've only previously used the LM Peach Mosaic Shimmer Bloc once and put it away because it wasn't travel-friendly (mine is messy, so messy) but this rose gold (at the bottom) was so lovely and looked great over time.

Can't wait to try it with the deeper top shade of the shimmer bloc (second from the bottom) and Guerlain Bal de Mai ☆

Beautiful!!! You just gave me another idea

The next time I wear Chanel Laurier Rose Stylo E/S I'm going to use my LM Peach Mosaic Shimmer Bloc w/it as
E/S. If you like rose gold Laurier Rose is a must have!!! I wore it yesterday as my main lid color w/ MAC Mythology (Copper, Lustre) from crease to transition, Chanel
True Black from my Rêve D’ Orient Palette,tomy outer vee an lower lash line, and Becca Rose Gold, Illuminator, Pressed to highlight my brow. I used Chanel Stylo
Yeux WPLL Eyeliner Ambre Dore (Golden Copper) in my waterline. Finally, I wore MAC Sheer Seduction lipstick (Super dazzle-bronze). It was a fun, fun look.

I just pulled out all my highlighters this morning - I've 12.

I wore a combo of The Perfect Cheek and Porcelain Pink MSF today (on my eyes were two older Chanel Stylo e/s while I'm waiting for my order with my new ones to arrive - Moon River and Jade Shore with a little bit of Moth Brown in the crease).

I've yet to wear:

MAC Play it Proper
MACToo Chic
MAC Redhead
MAC Shell Pearl
Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel
Bourjois Poudre de Riz de Java.

Should be doable for the rest of the month, right?!

Sounds great! I did use the bottom two LM Peach Mosaic shades today with the darker shade to highlight, the same L'Oréal mascara and Bal de Mai Can barely see it my quick pic Two Peach Mosaic shades down,two to go

I've again to profess admiration for everybody who committed to last months theme and to heap ashes on my head (again) because I totally fell of the bandwagon AGAIN!

I somehow managed to branch out and wear different blushes than the half dozen I usually wear, but then I vanished down the new lipstick hole and wallowed happily in my new Huggables. Shameful! I try to be better...

BUT! I managed at least to use a different highlighter than Lightscapade today and a blush that I haven't used in ages! Go me! (Poudree Signee de Chanel and EL Sea Star Bronzing Blush).

katred, congrats to the new book!

Jay, keeping my fingers crossed for the third interview!

Hi Pretty, AWS, shars, sage, Aradhana, Meggie and Meddy!

Me too! LOL and I'm on track to do the same for May. I'm starting over. I onlyl have a handful of highlighters, so I can concentrate on the other stuff this month as well.
I wore lightscapade yestersday, so pretty!!! I'll post the look later. I have to remember what else I wore.

Will try a different lipstick next time.

IS that Senso GA eye tint? Very pretty.

I’m sick! Springtime colds + allergies have me sporting a tissue-held-to-my-nose-at-all-times look. My nose (and surrounding skin) is now a mess from all my sniffling and sneezing so I didn't wear anything for a couple days. I’d been on such a roll, too!

I love this soft romantic look! Were you happy w/Paradiso and the eye look? I imagine they looked stunning together!!!!

This allergy season is a bad one----I hope you get some relief soon!!!

 

[mkoparanova]

I love this soft romantic look! Were you happy w/Paradiso and the eye look? I imagine they looked stunning together!!!!

Thank you! I applied it very lightly. It wouldn't be my first choice for this eye look but I really wanted to wear it!

 

[Medgal07]

Thank you

They are very very similar! The CT are a tad denser but that's the only difference - they are creamy, easy to apply, a little goes a long way... I'm sure you'll order more than one

Thank you! I applied it very lightly. It wouldn't be my first choice for this eye look but I really wanted to wear it!

Very funny!!!! You know me too well!!! I'm trying to exercise a little self control---when I find it Ill let you know!

What lippie would be your first choice w/the look?

 

[mkoparanova]

Hmm it would definitely be a nude lipstick or a MLBB shade. I rarely wear colours different than nude/brown/bronze on my lids and when I do, I pair them with a nude lipstick.

Got it. Helps to keep the entire look soft & doesn't divert focus form the soft eye look.

Med, I know about your love of hearts - so I think you need this!

It's by Maybelline.
